Cutting Crown Molding Non-Compound Method (Vertically Nested) The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required. Therefore, when adjusting the saw for non square corners, the user needs to only adjust the miter system, as opposed to both miter and bevel systems when laying crown materials flat. All DEWALT Miter Saws have a tall sliding fence to support larger crown molding nested vertically against the fence. When cutting with this method, use the crown stops to support material. The DW713, DW715, DW716, DW717 and DW718 all use the DW7084 crown stops. The Capacities Cutting Crown Vertically On Each Saw Are As Follows: • DW713 - up to 4-1/2" crown • DW715 - up to 5-1/4" crown • DW716 - up to 6-5/8" crown • DW718 - up to 6-5/8" crown • DW717 - up to 6-1/4" crown Always Remember: When cutting crown in this orientation the bottom of the molding goes against the fence (Bottom of molding is decorative side). Think of the table of the saw being the ceiling, and the fence as being the wall. INSIDE CORNER Left Side: 1. Miter Right at 45º 2. Save Right End of Cut 1. Bottom of the molding - rest against fence Top of the molding - rest against table 2. Angled “flats” on back of molding must rest squarely on the fence and base of the saw. If you have trouble finding the exact location of the “flats”, put a pencil mark on the table or base so that all of the molding is positioned on the saw in the same manor or use DEWALT accessory DW7084.

Since they can shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square corners, all settings should be tested on scrap moldings. The following two chart shows settings are for all U.S. Standard Crown Molding with 52° and 38° angles, and assume that the angle between the wall is 90°. The chart at the end of this article lists the appropriate miter-bevel settings for both 52°/38° and 45°/45° Ceiling Wall Crown Moldings with angle-between-wall ranges of 67°-179°. 52/38 Crown Molding 45/45 Crown Molding 52° 38° 45° 45° PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

You must flip the material around to cut both ends of the inside and outside corners. INSIDE CORNER Left Side: 1. Top of Molding Against Fence 2. Bevel Set at 33.85º 3. Miter Right at 31.62º 4.
